Subject: Re: tyre pressure
I had Firestone 525 x 21 (at 34 psi pressure) on my 2L before I changed the wheels to a smaller size (this is because mine is a 1933 2L with a T7 body; 19" wheels are standard for this model and the car runs better as well) and now I have Blockley 500 x 19. I agree that they look good but they have a habit of going "square" when the car stands still for some time. Blockleys are also very expensive. On the whole I perferred the Firestones. Dunlop used to make tyres that look exactly like the Blockleys - does anyone know if these are still available?
